Eight Elephants Killed in Train Collision in Assam

Eight Elephants Killed in Train Collision in Assam

On a foggy night in December, eight elephants were sadly killed when they collided with a fast train in Assam, India.

This happened in an area where elephants often move around, even though it's not an official elephant path.

The train was going very fast and couldn't stop in time.

No people were hurt, but the train was damaged.

The government is now looking into how to stop this from happening again.

They are talking about using special systems to warn trains when elephants are nearby.

Some people say the trains should go slower in areas where elephants are often seen.
